This is exactly why I need to, want to, am going to find a way to really LEARN WordpPress. I will be able to grow with it while it becomes even more phenomenal. I’m not a developer, designer, or power user. Somewhere out there is a resource to help me through the maze so 2013 is when I will have expertise – and that’s not all that far away. How hard can it be?

Hi,
First of all, I want to thank Matt for featuring me and my colleagues. Thank you very much.
Secondly, I need to correct the info about the third example of WordPress and maps. I wasn\’t the author of it, it was a friend of mine called Miguel Peixe. We at Hacklab developed the plugin on which the site is running. He used the plugin and customized its theme 🙂

p.s. Was surprised / pleased to hear you talk about RealTime Editing. Yes, GDocs is amaze-balls cool. Or hey, editing comments in G+ works too!
DAV … distributed authoring and versioning … been kicking that stuff around for over 2 decades.

Yep, this was good as always… and as soon as it’s available, keep an eye on the WordCamp Portland site and when they have their videos up. Matt did a Townhall Q&A yesterday, and I watched it via livestreamed. It was great. He is truly one of the best when it comes to “on the spot” Q&As.

Now I really need to focus on WordPress after watching Matt’s encouraging message. Yes, 99% of my clients’ websites use WordPress, and I was thinking of picking up a bit Joomla. Now I would give all my time to WordPress, which has helped me to get over 90% of my income.
